New Products
Multiphysics Modeling Software

Pulsed Driver Amplifier

COMSOL (Burlington, MA) has released version
5.6 of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The
new version features faster and more memory-lean
solvers for multicore and cluster computations,
more efficient CAD assembly handling, and application layout templates. A range of new graphics features - including clip
planes, realistic material rendering, and partial transparency - offer enhanced visualization for simulation results. Four new products expand the
capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics for modeling fuel cells and electrolyzers, polymer flow, control systems, and high-accuracy fluid models.

Empower RF (Inglewood, CA) announced the
release of their Model 2239 pulsed driver amplifier producing a minimum of 1KW peak power.
The 2239 is an intelligent amplifier in a compact
3U rack compatible footprint with features ideal for integrating into
Magnetron, IOT, Klystron and TWT systems. The amplifier is designed
for 0-dbm input that is pulse modulated. A fast TTL gate input is standard, and its use optional when complete shutoff of the output stage
is desired between pulses. Pulse capabilities include up to 20% duty cycles and pulse widths as long as 500 μsec with up to 25 KHz PRF's.
GaN on SiC devices are used in a multistage class AB configuration.

FiberOptic, Electronic Adhesive
epoxySet (Woonsocket, RI) introduced the EPOXIBOND ™ EB-153, high-temperature epoxy. Originally developed for fiber optic cable assembly, this
heat cure epoxy is a choice product for electronic
bonding applications, as well as for sealing and coating requirements. This two-part system can be cured as quickly as one
minute @ 150°C. It has a low-medium viscosity with a 5-6 hour work
time at room temperature. The high-technology formulation includes a
cure indicator that changes color from clear yellow (uncured) to dark red
(cured). Once cured, this epoxy produces a glass transition temperature
of 115°C and can be used up to 250°C continuously.

Gigabit Ethernet Switch Modules
Diamond Systems (Sunnyvale, CA) has unveiled
the latest model in its popular line of compact gigabit Ethernet switch modules. The EPSM-10GX4
managed switch offers 24 10/100/1000Mbps copper ports + 4 10Gbps SFI ports and Layer 2+ switching and Layer 3 routing/switching software in the ultra-compact size of 2.2 "
× 3.3 " (55 mm × 84 mm). The module is intended to be used on a carrier
board, such as Diamond's EPS-24G4X, to implement a complete Ethernet
switching solution. EPSM-10GX4 is designed to meet the challenges of
vehicle environments with its 50% thicker PCB, - 40/+85°C operating
temperature range, and MIL-STD-202G shock/vibration resistance.

Warfighter LWIR Cameras
Capable of identifying both manmade and natural
materials, Polaris Sensor Technologies (Huntsville, AL)
developed the Pyxis hybrid polarizing IR camera for
target detection and search-and-rescue operations.
Small enough and light enough to be either helmetmounted or UAV-mounted, the Pyxis can detect a wide variety of manmade materials including metals, plastics, oils, and many others. Detecting both polarization data and thermal imagery data and fusing
them together into a single image, the Pyxis provides superior detection capability for IED detections, target detection, search and rescue,
and other applications that require detection capability.

Fire-Retardant Graphite Additive
NeoGraf Solutions (Lakewood, OH) recently
announced the addition of GrafGuard® 28050N to its lineup of expandable graphite flake,
non-halogenated, non-flammable, fire-retardant additives. The new GrafGuard 280-50N is specifically targeted toward the thermoplastics industry, especially specialty polymers with high
processing temperatures including composites and multi-functional systems with high melting points for both injection molded and thermoformed applications. With a particle size of 50 mesh or 300 microns, GrafGuard 280-50N has an on-set temperature of 280°C (536°F). There is no
reaction below 280°C (536°F) with no volatile loss and no visible puffing.

Solid-State Drive
Mercury Systems Inc. (Andover, MA) introduced the
MissionPak™ SLC ultra-portable secure solid-state
drive (SSD) for mission-critical applications requiring
reliability, security and ruggedization. Optimized for
applications such as command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4I) and avionics, MissionPak SSDs
use AES-256 XTS encryption, have the latest generation of NAND flash
technology and are packaged into compact, water-resistant, self-destructing form factors for secure use in harsh environments. Able to clear
themselves in less than 10 seconds to protect data, the MissionPak SSDs
are available in 128 GB or 256 GB storage configurations, weigh only 80
grams (approximately 0.18 pounds) and fit in the palm of the hand.

OpenVPX Backplanes

Directional Coupler

Pixus Technologies (Waterloo,
Ontario) has announced new OpenVPX backplanes designed for horizontal-mount enclosures. The horizontal-mount backplanes can be
placed into 1U-4U tall 19 " rackmount OpenVPX enclosures and provide enough space to have three 3U slots or one 3U and one 6U slot
side-by-side, meaning a wide range of configurations and size options
are available. The backplanes are typically designed to support at least
PCIe Gen3 speeds, but higher-speed options are offered. Versions that
accommodate VITA 66 (for optical) or VITA 67 (for RF) through the
backplane and SOSA requirements are also optional.

KRYTAR, Inc., (Sunnyvale, CA) announced a new directional coupler operating in the frequency range of 0.5 to 8.0 GHz offering Nominal Coupling (with respect to output) of 30 dB, ±0.8 dB in a compact package.
KRYTAR's Model 158030 also offers frequency sensitivity of ±0.6 dB. The
directional coupler exhibits insertion loss (including coupled power) of
less than 0.80 dB, directivity of greater than 16 dB, maximum VSWR
(any port) is 1.35, input power rating is 20W average and 3 kW peak. The
compact package measures 5.25 inches (L) × 0.53 inches (W) × 0.72 inches
(H), and weighs only 3.8 ounces. Operating temperature is -54° to +85° C.
